It was. Then the rumor was true. She was going to leave us. Poor us! How we should miss her, this guardian of the Chamber of Horrors! At last came graduation. The Seniors were Seniors no more. They were now full-fledged teachers and we -Juniors no longer-became Seniors, we girls and one boy. -- -f 7 .feb N, -T , .. - , f A L! it 7- K! '44 L I.

Seniors gave a dance, but it was very select. Only Seniors are to come, they said. But there were a few favored Juniors who came back and told the left-outs of the wonderful party. Would you believe it? They voted that it wasn't half so nice to have the boys as to have only girls. You may think this is not true. just ask Mildred. D Now came Mr. Adams' entertainment all in the dark room. Sitting on the window benches, gleefully we watched the screen before us. Carriages, horses and cars went by upside down. The best of all, though, was to watch the girls on the opposite side of the street marching up and down, carrying the American flag. That lesson of inverted images, given in the dark room, is a memorable event of the year. The greatest grief that has befallen our class during its career came during this spring term, when itlost one of its most popular and lovable classmates and friends, Miss Hart, of Lynn. Now came the last term of the year and a busy one it was. Seniors getting ready to graduate, and Juniors ready to take their places. During the last few weeks we had basket ball games, exciting ones, too, when blue and red banners were flying from the balconies and girlish voices grew hoarse with yelling. There was a field day, and a class play, given by the Seniors. We were allowed to come and looked on with rapt expres- sion. The play The Rivals, was given May 9.

There were new tints on the walls and ceilings and everything looked spick and span. Then there arose a discussion as to the appro- priateness of the tints. Were they harmonious with the other colors in the room? Was there any underlying plan of having certain colors for certain teachers? The office was changed, but the people in it were the same. After admiring the new decorations and visiting all the rooms, we visited our teachers and friends. There was, also, a curiosity to see the new music teacher-a Man. Was he old or young? slim or stout? cross or good- natured looking? So went the questions. We were assured that he was all right, and that's the way it has proved. t Seniors did I say we were? Yes, Seniors, the Class of 1904, now the most dignified and superior beings of the school, and only one short year had passed since we were humble little juniors. We had been having theory that previous year. Now came practice. Our. work was different 'and became daily more interesting, for ,, . lr-ll ITl vy .WF 22
